[ox-en] Microsoft + Bush v Peru



Translation of an article on http://www.barrapunto.com:

'It seems that the Micro$oft lobby has counter-attacked. In Peru President
Bush of the United States has started to apply the pressure to stop the
Peruvian Free Software Bill through his embassador, Hamilton. Congress
has approved Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo's [...] trip to the US
to meet Bill Gates. According to the newspaper El Commercio, the apparent
aim of the Peruvian president's visit to Seattle is to ask for economic 
aid from Bill Gates, who may make a donation through the Gates Foundation
to support the 'social and educational programs' of the peruvian 
government ... And worst of all, the law has gone back to first base as
expressly requested by the commissions studying it while Toledo is away 
with the Micro$oft people'

Good arguments, logic and right v. money. Pah.


Graham
